Some say, "A small place that gives the feeling of a world-famous scenic spot
"
Xiaoweidao, Xiapu County, Ningde City, is a natural secret place free to explore. Although today's road signs display information about ongoing construction, and even returning tourists kindly remind us to avoid going forward, the desire for the unknown and the longing for beautiful scenery made me decide to continue on.
I parked the car in a nearby small parking lot and proceeded along the winding path inward. Indeed, the surroundings were enclosed by construction barriers, but no busy construction workers were to be seen, only the tranquil nature and the breeze brushing past my ears.
Although the journey was somewhat bumpy, standing on the shore of Xiaoweidao, the beauty before my eyes made me feel that all the hardships were worthwhile. Waves were lapping against the rocks, and the sunlight scattered over the sea, creating a stunningly beautiful picture.
If you also love to explore and enjoy the freedom and spontaneity of a road trip, then I highly recommend a visit to Xiaoweidao, Xiapu County, Ningde City. Although there may be some minor incidents along the way, the unique experience and the beauty you will discover will surely fill your journey with surprises and memories.

Xiaowei Island~ A masterpiece of nature's craftsmanship!!!
The wonderful world!!
Geographic location:
Xiaowei Island, also known as Xiaweiyu, is located at the southeastern end of the Changchun Town peninsula in Xiapu County, Fujian Province, facing the East China Sea directly. This tiny island covers an area of less than 0.1 square kilometers, but it is beloved by tourists for its unique natural landscape.
Introduction:
The most distinctive feature of Xiaowei Island is the huge sea erosion caves near the seaside. These caves are natural wonders formed by the relentless beating of the waves against the rocks over thousands of years. They are also popular spots for social media check-ins!! Step inside, and you'll discover a world of its own, with rocks of various shapes inside the cave, making one marvel at the craftsmanship of nature.
Beach and reef features:
The island's beaches are known for their crystal-clear blue waters and the myriad shapes of the reefs. The waves gently brush the beach, and the rocks reveal various strange shapes under the erosion of the sea water, providing tourists with an excellent photo backdrop. It's very photogenic and feels amazing!!
Transportation guide:
✓ You can drive there: Navigate to Xiaowei Island, where there are many free parking spaces nearby, convenient for tourists to park.
✓ Public transportation: You can take the local public transport to Xiapu County, and then transfer to the transportation to the island!!
Little tips:
1. Make sure to check the tide schedule in advance, otherwise, you might make the trip for nothing!
2. Bring sun protection, as the UV rays at the beach are stronger than you can imagine, to avoid sunburn!
3. The most beautiful time is around 5-6 pm!! There are sunsets!!
4. Be sure to pay attention to safety, because the rocks are not very firm, so step carefully and firmly!!!!

Xiapu, Fujian, the sea erosion cave in Xiaweiyu is too good to shoot!
Xiapu, Fujian is the white moonlight in the hearts of many photography enthusiasts. The terrain here is very distinctive and it is easy to take a popular shot at random.
Xiaweiyu is a representative scenic spot, and the sea erosion cave is the first wonder of Xiaweiyu. The formation of the sea erosion cave is the result of the surrounding geological structure movement, nearly hundreds of millions of years of sea water erosion and the wind erosion of the sea breeze. Standing in the cave and looking at the sea, the surrounding islands, and reefs, the scenery is exceptionally beautiful, like a natural picture frame, and it is also an excellent viewing platform.
There are also many scenic spots worth visiting around Xiaweiyu. The Lvxia lighthouse, Lvxia village, and Lvxia pier not far from the sea to the south, Nanqishan, Xiapu Dajing beach, Gaoluo beach, Xiaojing lawn, Beiqi beach, Xiaohao beach, Xuyuao, Dongbi, Yangjiaxi, and Banyueli on the Changchun Peninsula to the north are all famous tourist spots.
Tips:
1. Xiaweiyu does not charge an entrance fee, but you need to take a short electric car ride, 5 yuan per person, scan the code and get on the car.
2. There is no well-repaired road into the sea erosion cave, it will be a bit dangerous, you need to pay attention to anti-skid, the sea erosion cave will be submerged at high tide, you must pay attention to safety and not stay too late.
The Wandering Chef
I went to Xiapu, and it was the most successful trip following the trend!!|||This is a lesser-known coastal city in Fujian
|||This is a lesser-known coastal city in Fujian. I went to Xiapu, and it was the most successful trip following the trend!!|||This is a lesser-known coastal city in Fujian, with secluded beautiful islands. In summer, the green scenery is picturesque, just like the scenes from a real-life Zelda, and in winter, watching the sunset at Dongbi is very cozy. Having a few drinks there feels just right, and the road to the sea is the romance of the entire fishing village. It's really suitable for a leisurely stroll to enjoy the romantic sunset over the orange sea~

MERCY VASQUEZ
etending to be on Mars | The magical island hidden in Xiapu County
On Xiawei Island in Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province, there is a naturally formed cave that has become the most well-known tourist attraction in the Xiapu area. Getting to this spot is not easy; it requires driving to a temporary parking lot and then walking for about ten minutes to reach it. At that time, the weather was not on our side, with strong winds and heavy rain almost stopping us in our tracks. The cave is located right in the middle of a pile of reefs, and climbing it requires the use of both hands and feet. However, the skirt and leather shoes I wore that day were clearly not suitable for such climbing. To avoid slipping on the rocks, I had to take off my shoes and climb the rocks barefoot. By the time I finally reached the cave, I was already a sorry sight, battered by the wind and rai
